Burning It Down, All the Way to Bat Country

No one’s POV
The man sat in his car, watching the big man and his woman kissing feverishly. He felt the anger boil he watched the two kiss. That little whore, did she not understand that she belonged to him? That no one else was allowed to touch her? He grinned sadistically as he started his car and pulled away, she would be reminded of her place soon enough.

Mitch’s POV

I was sitting at my desk pretending to do homework for my Sports Med class when my door opened and Trinity’s head popped through. I grinned and closed the book when she came in and plopped down on my lap after closing the door. I kissed her softly before pulling back and picking her up, bringing her to my bed. We had been spending a lot of time on this bed in the last two weeks, doing pretty much everything but having sex. She pecked my lips and looked up at me before reaching into her pocket and pulling something out, pressing it into my palm. I looked at the condom packet in my hand before looking back at her,

“Are you sure about this?” She bit her lip and nodded before reaching up and tugging my head down for a kiss. I pulled away and grinned as I tugged her shirt up and off, leaving her in her bra. She immediately blushed bright red so I kissed her again before pulling away,
“You’re beautiful, don’t ever be embarrassed ok?” She nodded shyly reached for the hem of my shirt, lifting it up and over my head. I had just taken her bra off and was lying in between her legs when my door opened and my mom came in,

“Mitch have you seen OH MY GOD! MITCHELL AARON CARSON!”She shrieked and threw a shoe at my head. I groaned in pain when it connected and fell onto my side. She walked out of the room muttering in Spanish, slamming my door shut. I looked over at Trin, who was putting her bra and shirt back on, mumbling under her breath. I sighed and pulled my own shirt back on, cupping Trinity’s face in my hands to stop her quiet ranting.
“Mitch, I am so freaking dead, your mom is going to call my dad, then him and my uncles are going to chop your dick off and oh my god I am in so much trouble!” She ranted, throwing her arms in the air. I chuckled and pressed a kiss to her mouth, stopping her rambling. She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed back, moving her lips against mine. I pulled back and rested my forehead against hers,

“Well, time to face the music I guess.” She nodded and laced her fingers through mine, walking downstairs to find my mom. We located her in the living room speaking into her phone,
“Yeah, they just walked in. Sure I’ll wait until you get here. Alright, thanks Matt.” She snapped her phone shut and looked at us, hands on her hips.
“Sit down. Trinity, your dad is on his way here, so I’d be prepared for a hurricane of trouble. I don’t want any talking from either of you until I get back, got it?” We nodded and she left the room, bustling around in the kitchen. We sat in a tense silence until the doorbell rang and my dad walked in the house, stopping to talk to Mitch’s mom. He rubbed his temples and nodded, walking into the living room.

“Trinity Rose Sanders, you have no idea how much trouble you’re in young lady. Let’s go.” He stated, walking out the door. I smiled weakly at my boyfriend and kissed him quickly before getting up and walking out the door. We made the short ride home in complete silence, walking into the house and going up to my room where I sat on my bed and waited for the explosion.

Matt’s POV

I paced back and forth in front of my daughters bed, trying to figure out what I was going to say to her. I didn’t even know she was thinking about having sex, I wasn’t prepared for this.
“Dad, just say something!”
“What do you want me to say Trin? I don’t even know where to begin with this! I didn’t even know you were THINKING about having sex! Why didn’t you at least talk to me about this?”
“Because I knew this is how you would react. I knew you were going to blow up and not listen to a word I said after ‘sex’. I KNEW IT! And guess what? YOU’RE EXPLODING!”
“Do not take that tone with me young lady. And yeah, I’m a little upset. You are too young for this Trinity! I know I’m not the best example to look at, but I need you to listen to me. Sex is a huge emotional and physical step, there isn’t anything more intimate. You are not ready for the rush of hormones and feelings that go with taking that step. You’re only sixteen sweetheart, and virginity isn’t something that you can take back once it’s given.”
“But I’m not a virgin, so it doesn’t matter!” She screamed, bursting into tears. I crossed the room and pulled her into my arms, letting her sob into my shirt. I pulled away after about ten minutes and made her look at me,

“Trinity Rose, virginity is GIVEN. It is a gift, something that can’t be taken. You ARE still a virgin, and I just want you to think really hard about this before you decide to give it away. I know right now it feels like you’ll be with Mitch forever, but it’s only been a few months hunny. Give it a little more time, please?” She sniffled and nodded,
“Ok daddy.” I smiled and kissed her forehead before speaking again,
“That being said, you are grounded for an indefinite period of time. That means no friends, no phone, no boyfriend. I’ll give you five minutes to call Mitch and let him know, but I want your phone in my hand in exactly five minutes.” She sighed and nodded,
“Ok daddy, I understand.” I smiled and left the room, walking to mine and falling face first on my bed. Now I just had to refrain from murdering Mitch. I sighed and got up, walking downstairs to find Steph. I walked into the living room and my heart stopped, Jake had an arm around Steph’s throat, pointing a gun at her head. When he saw me he grinned evilly,

“So good of you to join us Matthew; as you can see, I have the power here, so don’t try anything funny ok? I don’t WANT to kill you; I just want to take my dear Stephanie back with me. You see, she belongs to me. I bought her from her father a few years ago, so I’m just taking my property back.”
“You can’t own people asshole, now let her go.” I snarled, trying to control the rage that was boiling in my gut. I was hoping and praying that Trinity would stay upstairs, she wouldn’t be able to control herself.

Trinity’s POV

“Yeah, I’m grounded for pretty much the rest of my life.” I said into my phone,
“Yeah, my mom went on the internet and showed me all these pictures of STD’s and shit, then some stats on teen pregnancy. I gotta go babe, I’ll see you later.”
“Alright, bye.” I ended the call and sent a quick text to everyone saying that I was grounded and walked downstairs, looking into the living room for my dad. I crouched down on the steps when I saw what was going on. Steph’s ex boyfriend was standing behind her, one arm around her neck while the other pressed a gun to her temple. I quietly got my feet and went back upstairs to my room, going over to my nightstand and opening the drawer, revealing the gun safe stored there. Brian had shared his fascination of guns with me, and he had been taking me to the gun range pretty much every day for over a month, giving me one of his Glocks for protection. I pulled it out of the safe and checked the clip before turning the safety off and creeping back downstairs. I sat on the bottom step and just watched what was going on. The stupid fucker didn’t even have the safety turned off on the gun. I grinned as I pulled my phone out and texted Brian, he always answered his texts.

Call the cops, Steph’s ex broke into the house and has a gun to her head. My dad is arguing with him currently.
WHAT!?!?!?! Are you ok?
Yeah I’m fine, I have the Glock, I’m sitting on the steps waiting for something to happen. I don’t think Jake knows much about guns, he has a .357 Desert Eagle, but he doesn’t even have the safety turned off. That gun is completely wasted on him!
Trinity, don’t do anything stupid, he has some serious firepower. The cops are on their way. Are you on the east stairwell or the west?
East, third to the bottom. I had just sent the text when Jake started yelling,

“SHE’S MINE YOU STUPID FUCK! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME!” He was waving the gun around now, getting seriously agitated. I gulped when he pointed the gun straight at my dad, clicking the safety off. I stood up and walked calmly into the living room, aiming the gun at him, right as the cops came through the back door.
“DROP THE WEAPON!” Jake smirked and turned towards my dad, getting off one shot. I screamed and dropped to my knees beside my dad, vaguely aware of the cops shooting Jake. I ripped my over shirt off and pressed it to the wound in my dad’s side, making him hiss in pain. I was panicking as the blood soaked through the t shirt, spilling onto the floor. I was suddenly pushed aside by the paramedics, watching in a daze as they loading him onto a stretcher and into the ambulance. I was only slightly aware of being pushed into the car by Steph and speeding to the hospital. We walked through the doors of the E.R. and brought to a waiting room, where I sat in daze, not believing that my dad had been shot. I was shaken out of my daze when Brian ran into the room and grabbed me up into a hug,

“Oh my god, are you ok? How’s your dad? What happened with Jake? Jesus are you ok?” I clung to him for a few seconds before pulling away,
“I’m fine, dad got shot. I think Jake is dead. I don’t know how dad is, I don’t even know how long I’ve been here.”
“We’ve been here for over three hours sweetie, he’s in surgery.” I nodded and sat down, letting Steph field the questions as everyone ran into the waiting room. An hour later and a grim faced doctor walked into the waiting room carrying a clipboeard.
“Matt Sanders family?” We all jumped to our feet and walked over, waiting for the doctor to tell us what happened. I was hoping and praying he would be ok, I needed him to be ok.
